AI Call - Public Communication

[Colleen Pate]

Council Members:

Immediately after the Council meeting this past Thursday, City Clerk Myrna Rios and I talked about the AI generated call we received as part of Public Communications. We discussed the need to immediately get to the bottom of how this happened, what we can do to prevent it in the future and how we create security. Of course, our priority is protecting the ability of our public to communicate with us and to prevent misuse and abuse of the system. I've also included the City Manager and Deputy City Manager in this discussion.

I wanted you to know that action has started and also invite you to share any thoughts you have. As I know each of you do, I appreciate the Clerk taking initiative and moving swiftly.

Thank you.
